Plant for pollinators! We’re excited to be at First Magnitude Brewing Co. again for this fabulous festival to support pollinator conservation. Pick up a free plant, grab a bite to eat and try out special beer at Pollinator Palooza.
Pollinators are an extremely important part of the ecosystem but you don’t have to be a researcher to help protect them. Planting native flowering plants in your yard, patio and even in pots can provide vital habitats and food for bees, butterflies, moths and other pollinators. Learn about the importance of native plants, wildflowers and more at this family-friendly event!
Chat with researchers from our Daniels Lab about their conservation work with at-risk butterfly species and the plants they rely on to thrive. Look for our education team and discover what they’ve brought to share as the Florida Museum on the Go!
Try First Magnitude’s special brew called Lopsided Hazy IPA after lopsided Indiangrass, the host plant of the arogos skipper butterfly, with 10% of proceeds helping support imperiled butterfly recovery efforts in Florida.
